Combined bearings

They consist of a radial bearing combined with an axial bearing; thanks to their shape, they are able to carry radial and axial loads, still remaining small and compact. They may have protection plates, especially in the axial bearing zone, in order to avoid contamination and consequent damage.

They are used in applications where other types of bearings would take up too much space or in the case of high speeds. The constructional design of this category of bearings makes them suitable for a dual function and also simplifies the housing system in the adjacent elements.
